Nice job, maybe you should have painted them orange/red. But that's my opinion and that's your cluster.

very soft rib eye steak cut in thin slices marinated in a garlic, onion, vinegar, sesame oil etc... then put on a hot grill. go to any korean restaurant and they will have it.

some higher end restaurants have a special dipping sauce that brings out the flavor...

and some kim chee and your set.. but no kissing afterwards unfortuanately..

Sounds good. I love garlic, but I hate the bad breath.

I like it, but I think red would look cool as well. I just don't think that they would light up well in my cluster since my lights are all red now. Creative

The yellow rev limiter didn't light up yellow because it has a red base beneath it. For it to lit up yellow, it has to start with a transparent base, like from the factory.

I think it is a fun little DIY. You are the one who is stearing at it everyday, if you like what you see, that's all it matters.

Looks good. Never seen yellow needles before on a EG cluster. Not that bad.
